Oscar fallout part 2

So you have an Oscar. Now what?

If you’re Daniel Day-Lewis, you dismiss anyone who wants to label you the greatest actor of all time as “daft”. The actor told reporters backstage he just “needs to lie down for a couple of years”, then adding, “it would be really hard to imagine what to do next”. Not believable? This guy is so damn good that he can sit on his tush as long as he wants because we know whatever he does next will astound.

Best actress winner Jennifer Lawrence is not sitting by the pool, luxuriating in her win. The actress jetted to Hawaii Monday to film The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, but not without a quick trip to the hair salon to die her naturally blond tresses black, Katniss Everdeen style.

Lawrence may be thanking the clumsy gods (with whom I have made acquaintance-see why here.) for her dress tumble. The move, and her own wit and candour following her win, have endeared her further with the press. The It girl is now among names Entertainment Weekly magazine would like to see host next year’s Oscars. Seth MacFarlane tweeted he’s out for any repeat Oscar hosting gigs so that leaves speculation on a number of possibilities.

Yesterday I whined here about that Bond montage on Sunday’s Academy Award broadcast. To me, it was missing those famous quips. A savvy film student, Kees van Dijkhuizen Jr, has corrected that mistake with this nifty video montage of what could have been.

Best Picture winner Argo has been treated to a mash-up with a familiar film, starring a kid I once interviewed (nightmare!).
